Abstract
A fuel injection control device includes a throttle opening read timing setter that sets the timing at which a throttle opening is read. The setter is triggered to detect the throttle opening used for calculation of a basic injection amount by the start of calculation timing of the basic injection amount (FICAL) if the FICAL is at the position corresponding to a toothless part of a crank pulsar rotor. The setter detects the throttle opening based on crank pulse interrupt according to a crank pulse if the FICAL is at a position other than the position corresponding to the toothless part.
Claims8
A vehicle, comprising:
- a throttle opening detector configured to detect a throttle opening changing in conjunction with operation of a rider;
- a crank pulsar rotor provided around a crankshaft and having detection-target teeth disposed at equal intervals and a toothless part;
- a pulse generator configured to generate a crank pulse according to a passage state of the detection-target teeth;
- an engine rotational speed detector configured to detect the crank pulse to detect a rotational speed of an engine;
- a fuel injector configured to inject a fuel into an intake path of the engine;
- a basic injection amount calculator configured to calculate a basic injection amount based on the engine rotational speed and the throttle opening,
- an additional injection amount calculator configured to superimpose an additional injection amount on the basic injection amount based on a change amount of the throttle opening;
- a calculation timing decider configured to decide calculation timing of the basic injection amount based on the engine rotational speed and the throttle opening, and
- a fuel injection control device, said fuel injection control device comprising a throttle opening read timing setter configured to set timing at which the throttle opening is read, wherein the throttle opening read timing setter is configured to be triggered to detect the throttle opening used for calculation of the basic injection amount by activation of the calculation of the basic injection amount if the calculation timing of the basic injection amount is at a position corresponding to the toothless part,
- wherein if the engine has at least two cylinders, the throttle opening read timing setter is triggered to detect the throttle opening by activation of the calculation of the basic injection amount for the cylinder in which the calculation timing of the basic injection amount is at a position corresponding to the toothless part, and to detect the throttle opening based on crank pulse interrupt according to the crank pulse for the cylinder in which the calculation timing of the basic injection amount is at a position other than the position corresponding to the toothless part.
